I don't think it's the age that matters. I think if you have the skill, the confidence, and the presentation, go for it. You'll never succeed if you don't try. But, I'm just playing the Devil's advocate here, some people might not take a 13 year old as seriously as say, a 16 or 18 year old. I say try it, and if it doesn't go over well, practice, practice, practice, then try again at a different place.

dude

im amazing at close up
im just now starting stage
im sry i made all of yall mad
and i wwould wear my tux with a black vest (which i have) and without the jacket
i would also wear a black bowtie(which i have)

Please, type like a normal person, and don't press enter when you should put commas. And when you come out and say you're amazing at close-up, what I'm automatically going to think is that you're not nearly as good as you think you are.

Flight2,
You are old enough to perform. May be not a paying gig but you can start getting your feet wet.
Perform for friends and family. Work on routines and effects. Perform for strangers at the mall or teachers at school.
Get out there and do the magic if you feel you are ready.
I just would not start declaring your self a professional magician and charging people to do 2 hour walk around shows.
Check out Gomagicgo.com and their begineer series, it takes you thru the royal road to card magic the book and Andrew and Keith give some great info on performing and getting ready.

If you're only 13, people won't take you seriously; this is especially so if you are wearing a tux. No matter how good you are, the reactions will be about "Ohhh, look how adorable you look." rather than about the magic.

I suggest waiting a few more years. If you are as advanced as you think, then 16 would be an alright starting place.

However, there are alot of situations that you will need to know how to handle. Alot of stuff can happen in a restaurant, and you as the magician need to be prepared. For this reason, I suggest waiting till you're 18+.

I'm not sure if it's already been asked, but what rescources do you have on restaurant magic? What effects where you intent on using and in what order?

I agree, wait until you are about 17 or 18. People will respect you more then, and that gives you plenty of time to be beyond perfect at some good routines, which is where you will need to be to be doing paid performances. And remember, when you go and ask to be hired somewhere, it won't be much fun when the manager doesn't take you seriously because of your age. I think that would be more than a little embarrasing.

You should actually learn some proper english. People might hire you then. Just a thought.
